Souls won by the Spirit of Christ, should never be parted by their different principles. 1 THE world from Christians are apart; 'Mong those whom God has join'd in heart, 2 They're all of one eternal band, 3 Why then should circumstantials mar Or non-essentials ever bar Those whom they cannot join? 4 No forms or tenets can unite, 5 O God, subdue those cruel jars 60 give us that transforming flame, That those who bear thy lovely name, The Christian's Warrant. 1 Though troubles assail and dangers affright, 2 The birds without barn or store-house are fed, 3 We all may like ships by tempests be tossed 4 His call we'll obey, like Abrah'm of old, We know not the way, but faith makes us bold, For though we are strangers, we have a sure guide, And trust in all dangers the Lord will provide. 5 When Satan appears to stop up the path, 6 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain, 7 No strength of our own or goodness we claim, S When life sinks apace, and death is in view, 1 What contradictions meet A sorrow full of joy: 2 Who can describe the pain, Constrain❜d to speak in vain, But who can tell the pleasure felt, 3 The Savior's dying love, The soul's amazing worth, And draw their bowels forth: They pray and strive, their rest departs, Till Christ be form'd in sinners' hearts. 4 If some small hope appear, They still are not content; But with a jealous fear, They watch for the event: Too oft they find their hopes deceiv'd, Then how their inmost souls are griev'd. 5 But when their pains succeed, No harvest joys can equal theirs, NARRATIVE ОР ELEAZER SHERMAN, GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE, EXPERIENCE, CALL TO THE MINISTRY OF THE GOSPEL, AND TRAVELS AS SUCH TO THE PRESENT TIME. · THREE VOLUMES IN ONE.
